This is just a fun little thing that came to me a minute ago, sort of like the Character Answer game. I'm not sure if this will work or not, to be honest. So what we do is, I start by writing what one of my characters' answering machine recordings would sound like. Then the next person writes their character leaving a message on that machine, with one of their characters' recording included for the next person to leave a message on. It might be sort of hard since we don't all know each other's characters, but I thought it might be a fun thing to try. All right...let's see how this goes.

Felix -- "Salutations, this is Felix. Considering that people seem to think it somewhat funny to leave false threats and/or distress calls on my answering machine, I will probably ignore your message. So if you were another imbicile planning to do that to gaug my reaction, you might as well not waste your time. BEEP."

Okay, Luxor, I'm not sure what you mean, but I'll try anyway...

*BEEP* Hello Felix, my name is Terian, and I'm calling to urge you to vote for me in my next campaign for prince of Lanser-Avin. I'm not quite sure how to leave messages on this machine of yours, but I'm doing my best. Vote for me-- because... uhm, because... I don't know why. Just do. Thanks. *BEEP*

And this is Myron's answering machine.

*Gillagan's Island theme comes up* Hello, you've reached the cell phone of Myron, son of Nedam. I'm off to a grand ball to be mobbed by a bunch of painted rich girls right now, so if you'd just leave your name and number I'll get right back to you. Deepest thanks. *BEEP*

((Interesting idea. Certainly adds an odd little twist to it.))

"Hey, this is Alex Terral. You left a message on my voice mail and I think you may have had a wrong number. But, if it is me you really wanted, get back to me ASAP, as it seems you might know things I'd like to discuss with you. Thanks."

Alex-- "Hey, if you're hearing this, that means I can't answer my cell phone right now, meaning I'm really busy at the moment. If it's urgent, leave a message, if not, try again in a day or two. And the first words out of your mouth should be who you are and/or how you got this number. BEEP."
"In a fair fight I would have killed you."

Abby: Abby here. I'm compiling a list of people who would make good senators once I have myself entered into that office. My pathetic older sister must have dialed the wrong number (Dinah, in background: "I did not!), but I suppose we must forgive the shortcomings of our inferiors. Return my call if you're interested. BEEP!


Abby's message: You've reached Her Majesty Princess Abigail Antonia Reynolds Bartlett. If I have spoken to you in a tone of disgust in the past, it is likely I do not wish to hear your voice again. In the event that this is so, I look forward to hearing the *click* as you hang up.

Marcy Evans: Yeah, you've found me. Me as in Marcy Evans. If your name is neither Alexei nor Charles, please feel free to leave contact information after the beep, and if I like the presentation enough, I may just get back to you. Nota bene: no messages left in the form of Christmas carol parodies, please.

Lynne Eberly: If I like you, I'll call you back. If I don't, I'd suggest losing my number quickly, beeyotch. Have a splendiferous day!

Charlie Foss: Charlie here. Leave your message after the beep, and once I'm done plotting the destruction of my family's reputation and the theft of their fortunes, I'll get back to you. And yes, Mother, I was kidding.

Lex Vasiliev: Hey, you've got Lex. Leave it, and maybe I'll call back. Peace and love, y'all.

Callan - Green. Why are you asking? And give me an address and I'll send you some money to save you from that "starving" gig.

Callan's Answering Machine

You've reached Callan. I am currently away from the phone right now, saving a queen who doesn't want to be a queen and who doesn't think she needs to be saved. I may not be back for several years. Please leave your name, your number and your estimated life expectancy so I'll know whether I should be trying to return your call or not.
